Quick Start Guide Usage Notes
This Quick Start Guide (QSG) is intended to help system administrators install and
configure a new appliance with a base level setup as quickly as possible. The
instructions cover steps for a common deployment scenario. The guide does not
provide extensive reference information. Please consult online help for more
information about your appliance.
This document is intended for system administrators who are familiar with:
 Windows server management
 Microsoft’s Active Directory
®
 Networking technology
The guide also assumes that you will use Microsoft’s reference information to
configure DirectAccess for your organization’s deployment.
Document conventions include:
 Instructions are generally intended for administrators to manage the
appliance installation through Comet’s web user interface administration
tool.
 The appliance administration website, or web user interface, is referred to as
the web UI.
 Instructions are presented in the order you should follow to set up your
appliance.
 Web UI on-screen items are noted in bolded type for easy identification.
 Features on the appliance front and rear panels are also noted in bolded
type.
 When referring to subsections in the QSG, the hierarchy is delineated by a
colon.
For example, the location of the section To enable the alert email
feature would be delineated as Quick Setup Steps : Alert Email : To
enable the alert email feature.
 Instructions assume the reader will navigate from the web UI main menu bar.
For example, to access appliance static routes, hover over the
Network option on the main menu bar, scroll to and hover over
Routing, then scroll to and click Static Routes. The navigation path
will be delineated as Network|Routing|Static Routes.
 While network interface connections are commonly referred to as NICs, ports
and adapters, the QSG uses network adapters as a simplified reference.
The QSG generally refers to the appliance when discussing your DAX appliance.
